Chapter 931 Joint Ridicule
Since Xu Yi took back all of Xu Chen's real estate, she has never paid any attention to him again.
To her, he had lost even the last bit of value he had.
I never expected him to find this place.
“I went to the bank to look for you, but you always avoided me and wouldn’t see me.” Xu Chen was at his wit’s end: “Nan Chu, if I hadn’t found my way here, were you planning to hide from me for the rest of your life?”
They are husband and wife, how could she treat him so coldly and heartlessly?
She doesn't answer his phone or reply to his WeChat messages; now it's even difficult for him to see her.
Lu Nanchu took a sip of champagne and said in a calm tone, "What do you want from me? Just say it."
"I'd like to borrow some money from you."
Xu Chen has been broke ever since his real estate was taken back by his father: "Nan Chu, as you know, my father was so angry because I helped you hide the fact that you had a business relationship with your cousin that he took away all the real estate under my name. I really have no money left."
"Nan Chu, I beg you, please give me some pocket money. For the sake of our marriage, please help me this once!"
As he spoke, he showed no regard for Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan's presence, seemingly unafraid that they would find out.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Really? Xu Chen, how did you end up in such a sorry state? As a man, isn't it your responsibility to support your family?"
As a result, he can't even support himself, let alone his family.
It's rare for a man to fail to this extent.
“Ayan, don’t make things difficult for your cousin. He’s been pampered since he was a child, how could he have seen the coldness of human relationships in society?” Sang Ruo played along with him: “Aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for him by asking him to go and earn money?”
Xu Chen's current state is largely thanks to Wen Qingyi.
If he hadn't insisted on helping Wen Qingyi and risked going against Ayan, how could Ayan have possibly targeted him?
The couple's back-and-forth banter was undoubtedly the biggest mockery of Xu Chen.
They mocked him for not being able to earn money and for being reduced to relying on his wife for support!
Xu Chen's face suddenly darkened, becoming so gloomy it was almost dripping with water: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, I know you two have disliked me for a long time, but there's no need to insult me like this. After all, I'm still your cousin, aren't I?"
"You only remember I'm your cousin now? Why did you forget all about it when you helped Wen Qingyi?"
Bo Jinyan's tone was full of mockery, as if he was mocking Xu Chen's overestimation of his abilities: "Xu Chen, I might as well tell you that Wen Qingyi was sentenced to life imprisonment by the federal court at around 11 a.m. this morning."
"You've helped Wen Qingyi so many times, I think you should know where she ended up."
Although Wen Qingyi had a physical relationship with him, it was clear that Wen Qingyi's heart was not with him.
She cared about Gong Lian much more than she cared about Xu Chen.
"What did you say? Life imprisonment?" Xu Chen was shocked and surprised when he heard the news. "Wasn't Qingyi kicked out by Nan Chu? How could she be sentenced to life imprisonment?"
Bo Jinyan's gaze immediately fell on Lu Nanchu, holding a wine glass in his hand, without saying a word.
But his eyes said it all.
Xu Chen understood almost instantly, as if he knew something: "I know, it was you, right? Nan Chu, it was you who sued Wen Qingyi, causing her to be sentenced to life imprisonment, right?"
After all, life imprisonment is arguably the most serious crime in states without the death penalty in the United States.
It is almost second only to the death penalty.
To get her sentenced to life imprisonment, Nan Chu must have put in a lot of effort.
"It was me who filed the lawsuit, but who told you to arrange for her to move into our house?" Lu Nanchu turned her head and said, raising her wine glass, "This is the end she deserves."
She had absolutely no sympathy for Wen Qingyi.
It was her own fault for being so indecent and constantly seducing other women's fiancés; she deserved it!
A mist welled up in Xu Chen's eyes: "Nan Chu, how did you become like this? Qing Yi is innocent. Even if she lives in our house, she doesn't deserve this!"
"Besides living in our house, what other crime has she committed that warrants this kind of retaliation?"
He really couldn't understand why Nan Chu, who used to be such a kind girl, had become so cold and unapproachable.
Sang Ruo calmly reminded him, "Xu Chen, I need to remind you that Wen Qingyi's crimes are not only misappropriation of other people's property, but also premeditated murder and intentional assault. These two crimes are the fundamental reasons why she was sentenced to life imprisonment."
Bigamy is just icing on the cake, not the main reason.
"Premeditated murder? Intentional assault?" Xu Chen was somewhat incredulous: "Did Wen Qingyi really commit so many wrongdoings? How could she possibly commit premeditated murder? And who was she injuring? Nan Chu?"
Since he returned to China, he has never seen Wen Qingyi murder anyone.
The treatment of Nan Chu was merely a normal response.
How could someone intentionally hurt another person?
Bo Jinyan's face darkened, and he said with displeasure, "The person he hurt was not Nan Chu, but Xiao Ruo."
“Xu Chen, do you think the only person she has hurt is Lu Nanchu?” Bo Jinyan frowned, his tone filled with displeasure: “She not only hurt Nanchu, she almost killed Xiaoruo.”
"If it weren't for Xiao Ru's request, do you think I would have let her off so easily, given that Wen Qingyi almost caused Xiao Ru to become a vegetable?"
These all happened before Xu Chen returned to China.
Xu Chen may be completely unaware, but that's not the reason he's helping Wen Qingyi so much.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen looked incredulous: "What did you say? She almost caused my cousin's wife to become a vegetable? When did this happen? Why didn't I know anything about it?"
He always thought that Wen Qingyi was still the same Wen Qingyi he had seen when he was a child.
Could it be that Wen Qingyi has really committed so many unforgivable crimes?
If that's the case, then wouldn't he be considered...?
To aid and abet evil?
Then he is guilty too!
Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.
“At that time, your mind was completely focused on Wen Qingyi. No matter how we tried to persuade you, you wouldn’t listen. Of course, you wouldn’t know.”
Bo Jinyan's tone was tinged with sarcasm: "So, you think you're innocent in your current predicament?"
Compared to his earlier assistance to Wen Qingyi and his role in aiding and abetting evil, his fate today is far too lenient.
At least he didn't go to jail; he just lost the money and power he should have had.
They deserved it.
Xu Chen was overwhelmed with bitterness and could hardly say a word.
On the contrary, Lu Nanchu was already getting impatient: "Alright, cousin, no matter how much you say, he won't think he's wrong."
